04:59Real irritation toward Celine stirred in him
05:02I smiled faintly to myself
05:03That was enough
05:05A single seed of displeasure was all I needed
05:07Once planted, it would take root in his heart
05:10It would grow, quietly, slowly
05:13Until it became something vast enough
05:15To swallow all his old devotion
05:17And when that day came
05:19What would all her favor matter then?
05:21The higher Celine stood
05:22The harder I would make her fall
05:24Back in my chamber
05:25I watched the false splotches from my face
05:27And looked at myself in the mirror
05:29Celine, you wanted a beauty that would never fade
05:32You wanted a body born to seduce
05:34You wanted to possess what should never have been yours
05:37So I will make sure
05:39Everything you wanted
05:40Everything you stole
05:41Everything you still cling to
05:43Turns to nothing
05:44Then shade slid soundlessly around my wrists
05:46His red tongue flicking against the air
05:49I stroked his small black head
05:50And whispered
05:51Even in death I will find you
05:55I will hunt you down
05:58Celine's birthday was celebrated with extravagant splendor
06:01Overnight
06:02The imperial lake bloomed with lotus flowers
06:04Thousands of them
06:06The court called it a blessing
06:08An omen of favor from the heavens
06:10At the lakeside
06:11Lucien stood hand in hand with Celine
06:15Your majesty promised me a birthday gift
06:18When will you show it to me?
06:21Lucien gave a slight nod
06:22The music began
06:25And I stepped onto the lake
06:26Onto lotus leaves
06:28As if the flowers were blooming beneath my feet
06:31My scent rose again into the air
06:34And the butterflies came back
06:36In waves
06:37They swarmed around me
06:39Dancing with me beneath the moonlit sky
06:41Everyone watching fell silent
06:43No one except Celine
06:45Her fingers digging hard into her own palm
06:47Then
06:48As I turned
06:49The veil slipped from my face
06:51And my true face was revealed
06:53I looked straight at Celine
06:55Just once
06:56I saw it in her eyes at once
06:58Jealousy so sharp
07:00By the time the dance ended
07:02No one had recovered enough to speak
07:04I walked forward
07:06And knelt before Lucien
07:08My name is Mira
07:10I offer my wishes to high consort Celine
07:12On her birthday
07:13May your majesty and your grace
07:15Remain devoted to each other
07:16Until your hair turns white
07:17And may the auric empire
07:19Flourish without end
07:21Rise
07:24You did not disappoint me
07:26Celine nearly cracked a tooth
07:28From smiling too hard
07:29Your majesty's gift
07:31I like it very much
07:34I'm glad
07:37That tiny broodling I had planted in him by the lake
07:40Was working now
07:41Quietly
07:42Twisting his moods
07:43I curled one finger
07:44Ready to draw it back
07:45Your majesty
07:48Why not grant this beauty to me
07:51As a gift between our two kingdoms
07:53That is the crown prince of Vare
07:55The man stepped forward through the crowd
07:57He carried himself like someone used to being obeyed
08:00He saluted Lucien with the ease of an equal
08:03I greet your majesty
08:05I am prince Cassian of Vare
08:07Then his gaze settled on me
08:09Openly
08:10Without shame
08:12If your majesty is willing to give this beauty to me
08:16I swear our two kingdoms will not see war
08:19For a hundred years
08:20The moment he said it
08:22The whole court seemed to draw in the breath
08:24A century of peace
08:25In exchange for one palace dancer
08:27One woman
08:28To everyone watching
08:30It was an impossible bargain to refuse
08:32Your majesty
08:33For a girl like her to be sent to Vare as a prince's consort
08:38Would already be a splendid fate
08:40Lucien said nothing
08:41But I could see it in his face
08:43He understood the trade
08:45Sacrifice one insignificant woman
08:47And two kingdoms stay at peace
08:49Any ruler should have taken it
08:51Any ruler would have taken it
08:53So why
08:54I lifted my face
08:55And looked at him quietly
08:57I had painted a floral marking
08:59At the corner of my eyes
09:00It made me look softer
09:02Lucien's expression shifted
09:04Like something sharp had gone through him
09:06Then he said it
09:07You're late prince
09:08She's already been claimed
09:10She belongs to my bed
09:12And my throne
09:13Selene turned to him so fast it was almost violent
09:16Your majesty
09:17She could barely believe what she had heard
09:19Cashin looked at me for one long moment
09:21Regret flashed across his face
09:23Then he gave a faint disappointed smile
09:26And stepped back
09:27The matter was over
09:28For everyone else
09:30Not for me
09:31By then
09:32My back was already damp with cold sweat
09:34Too close
09:35Far too close
09:37Thank the sea
09:38I had not pulled the broodling out of Lucien yet
09:40If I had
09:41There was every chance I would have been handed over tonight
09:44Because peace bought that easily
09:45Without a single soldier marching
09:47Without a single blade drawn
09:49Is the kind of peace no emperor refuses
09:51Except this one did
09:53In broad daylight
09:54Before the whole court
09:56Lucien declared that I already belonged to him
09:58And that very night
10:00The imperial decree arrived
10:02I was officially raised to consort
10:03I left the small quarters where palace dancers were kept
10:06And looked back only once
10:08At the dim roof
10:09The narrow door
10:11The life I had entered under a false name and a hidden face
10:14Then I swore to myself
10:16In silence
10:17That everything done to my sister
10:19And everything done to my people
10:21Would be repaid a hundredfold
10:22When I reached the palace chambers
10:25That had just been a sign to me
10:27Selene was already there
10:28Waiting
10:29Her eyes traveled over my face
10:31Slowly
10:32Then she smiled
10:33A poisonous smile
10:36So
10:37You dared lie to me
10:38I met her gaze
10:39If I hadn't lied to you
10:41Do you really think I would have lived long enough to dance today?
10:44Selene let out a soft laugh
10:45She stroked the cat in her arms
10:47As if nothing in the world could disturb her
10:49So you do understand me
10:52Then perhaps you also understand this
10:55Even if his majesty has seen your face
10:58Even if he's given you a title
11:00I can still kill you whenever I please
11:03I just looked at her
11:05So have you already chosen how I die?
11:09Yes
11:09A fire in the palace
11:11Consort Mira trapped inside
11:13A tragic accident
11:15She tilted her head
11:16I have been with the emperor since we were young
11:18My father and brother have shed blood for his throne
11:23For a single life like yours
11:26He will not blame me
11:27Her people moved before I could answer
11:30They seized my arms
11:31Found my wrists
11:32Found my ankles
11:34Then threw me to the floor
11:35Oil was splashed all around me
11:37Across the walls
11:39Across the drapes
11:40Across the threshold
11:41I could smell it instantly
11:43Selene stood over me
11:45Watching
11:45Waiting
11:46Then the first spark fell
11:48As the flames caught
11:49She laughed
11:51His majesty is drunk tonight
11:53There is no one in this palace who can save you
11:55Then she turned and walked away
11:57I watched her go
11:58Without a flicker on my face
12:00No fear
12:01No pleading
12:02Nothing
12:03Only stillness
12:05Then the fire rose
12:06And the guards outside began clawing at their throats
12:08One by one
12:10They dropped
12:11Blood pouring from their mouths
12:13Their eyes
12:14Their noses
12:15Dead before they hit the ground
12:17I stepped out through the flames
12:18With shade coiled in my arms
12:20At my feet
12:21The insects on the ground shifted and swarmed
12:24Guiding me
12:25So I ran
12:26Through the smoke
12:27Through the heat
12:28Following their path
12:29Until I slammed straight into someone's chest
12:32I looked up at the man I had crashed into
12:34It was Lucian
12:35There was still fear in my eyes
12:37Real enough to be seen
12:38My lashes were wet
12:40My tears trembled there
12:41But I would not let them fall
12:43Lucian pulled me into his arms at once
12:45Held me tight
12:47Then he looked past me
12:48Toward the blaze raging in the distance
12:51Who dared set a fire inside my palace
12:54Find out
12:55Now
12:56I stayed curled against his chest
12:58And said nothing
12:59Because he was not a fool
13:00He knew exactly who had done it
13:02This outrage
13:04This fury
13:05This order to investigate
13:06It was a performance
13:08Nothing more
13:09Selene had been with him since youth
13:11Their bond ran deep
13:13And behind her stood House Varen
13:15With soldiers
13:16Power
13:16And years of service to the throne
13:18Why would an emperor truly punish a woman like that
13:21For the sake of a dancer he had only just taken notice of
13:24He wouldn't
13:25Not yet
13:26So I leaned into him harder
13:28And made myself small in his arms
13:30Your majesty
13:32I'm frightened
13:34Lucian really had been drinking
13:36His face was faintly flushed
13:38His breath carried the warmth of wine
13:40And I was exactly the kind of woman
13:42A drunken man should never hold too close
13:44I had been born with a body that unraveled restraint
13:47And with the broodling still working inside him
13:49The desire in his eyes began to change
13:51Slowly
13:52Then all at once
13:54It caught fire
13:55Without another word
13:56He swept me up into his arms
13:58And carried me back to his private chambers
14:00I rested against him
14:02And said nothing
14:03But in my mind
14:05I was already waiting for the next move
14:07Because once word reached Selene
14:09That I had escaped the fire
14:10And been carried into Lucian's bedchamber
14:13She would never let it pass quietly
14:15I knew her too well
14:16And I was right
14:17I had not been in his chambers long
14:19Before Selene's chief eunuch dropped to his knees outside
14:22Your majesty
14:24High consort Selene is unwell
14:27She's in distress
14:28She says she wants to see you at once
14:30By then
14:31I was dressed in gauze so sheer
14:33It hit almost nothing
14:35I looked at Lucian through half-lidded eyes
14:37And asked in a soft voice
14:39Your majesty
14:41Are you going to high consort Selene tonight?
14:43His gaze was no longer clear
14:45No longer steady
14:46He stared at me like a man already half-lost
14:48With you here beside me
14:50Why would I think of anyone else?
14:52I covered my mouth
14:53And let out a quiet laugh
14:55There were only two of us in the chamber
14:57Just him
14:58And me
14:58Lucian kept staring at me
15:00Spellbound
15:01His breath was hot against my throat
15:03Damp and heavy with wine
15:05Then
15:06Without warning
15:07His body gave in
15:08And he sank into sleep
15:10On his forehead
15:11A small fleshy pink broodling
15:13Was still wriggling deeper beneath the skin
15:15I pushed him gently back onto the bed
15:17And pulled the covers over him
15:19Careful
15:20Almost tender
15:22I've woven you a beautiful dream
15:24Enjoy it
15:25Then I slid the hairpin from my hair
15:27And drove the tip into my fingertip
15:29A bright bead of blood welled up at once
15:31I let some of it stain a handkerchief
15:33Every drop that remained
15:35I fed to Lucian
15:36None of this poisoned blood should go to waste
15:39Not when I made it with my own body
15:40Not when even a harmless dose
15:42Taken once
15:43Could become a death sentence over time
15:45A little tonight would do nothing
15:47A little tomorrow would do nothing
15:49But enough of it
15:50Day after day
15:51And it would kill him
15:53Slowly
15:54Quietly
15:55Perfectly
15:56And the cure?
15:57There was only one person in this world who could give it
16:00Me
16:00The moon had crossed high overhead by then
16:02Silver light spilled through the window
16:04And spread across the floor
16:06I sat there
16:07And counted the time
16:09Waiting for Selene to make her move
16:11Then I heard it
16:12A faint skittering at the window
16:13I turned
16:14A spider no bigger than a fingernail
16:16Crouched on the ledge
16:17One of many
16:19One of the countless little eyes
16:20I had scattered throughout the palace
16:22So she was coming
16:24I rose at once
16:25Smoothed out my robe
16:27And walked toward the door
16:28Selene was already waiting outside the hall
16:30Not alone
16:31Behind her stood a wall of eunuchs and palace mates
16:34Packed so tightly it barely looked like a midnight visit at all
16:37This was not a jealous woman coming
16:39To reclaim a drunken emperor
16:41This looked like a siege
16:43I stepped out to meet her
16:44And deliberately swept my hair to one side
16:46Bearing the fresh red marks along my neck
16:49Moonlight washed over the stone steps
16:51I stood above her
16:52Looked down
16:53And smiled
16:55Softly
16:55His majesty is asleep
16:58You should come back tomorrow
17:00The look she gave me was pure venom
17:02Her face twisted
17:03Whore
17:04I'll kill you
17:06I let my gaze drop to her stomach
17:08Then I spoke very gently
17:10Your grace
17:12Careful
17:14You might upset the baby
17:16That stopped her cold
17:18For one full second
17:19Selene forgot how to breathe
17:21Lucien had once promised her this
17:23Bear him the first prince
17:25And he would give her the empress's crown
17:27But five years had passed
17:29Five years of marriage
17:30Five years of waiting
17:31And her womb had stayed empty
17:33Every remedy had been tried
17:35Every physician
17:36Every secret healer dragged in from the streets
17:39And still
17:40Nothing
17:40No child
17:42No heir
17:43No crown
17:44If she could not produce the emperor's first son soon
17:46The throne beside him would never be hers
17:49Seize her
17:51Drag this bitch away
17:53And beat her to death
17:55Because I had done the one thing no one else dared do
17:58I had named the wound she lived with
18:00Named it in front of everyone
18:01And a woman like Selene
18:03Could forgive almost anything
18:05Except humiliation
18:06The eunuchs lunged for me
18:08I shook them off before they could get a proper hold
18:10Then I looked straight at her
18:12And said
18:13Your grace don't be so hasty
18:15Why not summon the imperial physicians
18:17I let the silence stretch
18:19Then I gave her the knife
18:20One more thing
18:21If there really is a child to protect
18:23I'm the only one who can keep it alive
18:26Selene was reclining in a side chamber
18:28Half draped across a cushioned chaise
18:30While several imperial physicians knelt before her
18:32She rested her head against one hand
18:34Her eyes were heavy with exhaustion
18:36When she spoke
18:38Impatience sharpened every word
18:39Well am I pregnant or not
18:41The physicians lowered themselves even further
18:44Your grace
18:45Your pulse clearly indicates pregnancy
18:49For a moment
18:50Selene did not move
18:52Then she rose too quickly from the chaise
18:54All disbelief gone from her face
18:56There were tears in her eyes
18:58Actual tears
18:59Truly
19:00Her voice trembled when she said it
19:02Careful
19:03Fragile
19:04As if she were afraid even hope might hear her
19:06And disappear
19:07I watched her quietly
19:09And thought
19:10So this is what she looks like
19:12This woman who always stood above everyone else
19:14Who moved through the palace
19:15As if the world owed her obedience
19:17Even she could become this cautious
19:19This desperate
19:21Then she looked at me
19:22Remembering what I had said outside
19:24And asked the question she wanted answered most
19:27Is the child stable?
19:29One physician bowed low and replied at once
19:31From the pulse alone
19:32There is no sign of danger
19:35That made her smile
19:36But the moment her eyes shifted back to me
19:39The smile turned murderous
19:40I'm carrying an air now
19:42I should avoid bloodshed
19:44But you offend my eyes
19:47And I would sleep better if you were dead
19:50With one command
19:52The eunuchs at her side rushed forward
19:54And seized my arms hard enough to bruise
19:56They started dragging me away
19:58I moved one fingertip
19:59That was all
20:00And Selene suddenly clutched her stomach
20:02And cried out in pain
20:04The room froze
20:05The physicians lunged forward at once
20:07And took her pulse again
20:09This time
20:10Their faces changed
20:12One after another
20:13Their brows nodded
20:14Then all of them dropped to their knees
20:16Your grace spare us
20:17These are signs of miscarriage
20:20That was when panic finally broke through
20:22Selene's face drained white
20:24She had waited years for this child
20:26Years
20:26And she had only just heard the words she wanted most
20:29Pregnant
20:30How could she be losing it already?
20:32How?
20:33At last
20:34She looked at me
20:35And through clenched teeth
20:37She said two words
20:40You come here
20:42If you cannot save this child
20:44I will wipe out your entire bloodline
20:48I looked at her twisted, vicious face
20:50And dug my nails hard into my palm
20:53My entire bloodline?
20:54She really had no idea
20:56My people were already dead
20:58Slaughtered
20:59Every last one of them
21:00I was the only one who crawled back out of that hell alive
21:03The only one left
21:04To come for her
21:05I stepped forward
21:07And inserted a few needles into her body
21:09Carefully
21:10One point
21:11Then another
21:12Selene's breathing began to slow
21:14The strain in her face eased little by little
21:16When the physicians checked her pulse again
21:18They found it calm
21:20Steady
21:21The child was safe
21:22At least
21:23That was what they believed
21:25The truth?
21:26I knew nothing about medicine
21:27And Selene was not pregnant
21:29Not at all
21:30That night she came to burn me alive
21:32I had planted a brute curse inside her
21:34Quietly
21:35Without her noticing
21:37That broodling could mimic the pulse of pregnancy perfectly
21:40It could fool physicians
21:41Fool the court
21:43Fool even the mother carrying it
21:45In the later stages
21:46It would do even more
21:47Make her swear she could feel a child turning inside her
21:50While she smiled and dreamed of an air
21:52The thing inside her would be feeding
21:54Draining her
21:55Taking what it needed from her body
21:57Day and night
21:58Day and night
21:58Day and night
21:58Day and night
21:58Day and night
21:58Day and night
21:58Day and night
21:59Day and night
22:00Gracias.
